Shu is a powerful DoT (Damage over Time) specialist and debuffer who excels at applying continuous damage effects and exploiting vulnerable enemies. Her kit revolves around wind/storm damage and the unique [Weathering] debuff that stacks up to 5 times. She becomes increasingly powerful against enemies suffering from continuous damage effects, making her excellent for prolonged battles and synergizing with other DoT characters.
